My experience is similar

Duster, bcowen and I both purchased the Oyaide cable based on your response to paco earlier this month. Like bcowen, I also replaced a Canare digital cable with the Oyaide 510 (DB-510 BNC termination for me). The seller, Shopping In Japan, was extremely responsive by email and I received my cable in about a week. I appreciated your recommendation and your follow-up responses to my questions about how that cable might compare with the VH Audio cables you are familiar with.

I am pleased with the sound of the Oyaide digital cable. Like bcowen, I conditioned it on my Audiodharma Cable Cooker (I cooked mine 4 days based on my experience that silver responds to a longer burn-in). Given the high purity silver conductor, excellent dielectrics and connectors, double shielding, 75 ohm impedance, and the inclusion of a carbon semiconductor layer, it seems the construction and quality of this cable should be as good as just about anything out there. The price for all of that was almost unbelievably low.

Compared to the Canare, I hear improvements in resolution and smoothness mixed with a warm, rich presentation and powerful bass. High frequencies seem just about right and not hot or overdone. I suspect others may have cables they like better but to me that likely boils down to personal preferences.

Thanks again for taking the time to offer your recommendations to the rest of us. In a forum like this, there are always going to be people who disagree with each other (which is not a bad thing) as well as people who feel the need to go on a rant or attack because they are substituting an internet forum for something they are missing in the real world. Don't take that stuff personally - view it as water off a duck's back.
